I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 93: If You See Me Like This (1)

Min-Bom couldn't focus on the meeting.

The stress was building up and festering.

Under the round table, she read hateful comments and articles pouring in about her.

Articles questioning Jung-gyeom's identity.

Criticism aimed at Solace for being defeated by personal feelings.

Anti-fans appearing like hyenas, seizing the moment.

Saying they absolutely couldn't trust her.

Questioning why the Hero Association even exists.

Insulting her without understanding what it feels like to fight for one's life.

It felt as though all the sacrifices she had made until now were becoming meaningless.

The courage she had mustered and the lives she had saved lost their value.

They forget the past and only judge the present.

Furious at this irrationality...yet also saddened.

But that wasn't the main issue.

The greater stress was that she couldn't get in touch with Jung-gyeom.

She was worried about him.

She wanted to go to him quickly.

Why wasn't he contacting her? Why couldn't he receive her calls?

Yet, due to the Association's regulations, she couldn't leave the building.

Even 'Hera,' a healing specialist hero, was prohibited from going out under the pretext of recovery.

Worried about Jung-gyeom.

Stressed about the hate comments.

All of it was piling up.

She found herself smoking more than before.

Perhaps the silver lining was having stocked up a reserve in her private room.

But she just had to endure one more day.

Control would be lifted tomorrow.

Min-Bom checked her messages.

She had already sent over ten messages to Song Soo-yeon.

But she hadn't received a single reply.

Her current mixed emotions made her feel an immense irritation towards her.

'What a piece of trash'

Why was Jung-gyeom helping such a woman?

"...Solace. Put away the phone,"

Said the Chairman of the Hero Association.

"I'm sorry," Min-Bom silently complied.

A brief silence ensued.

With a cough, the meeting resumed.

The presenter said,

"...Ahem. So, continuing, although trust in the Association has declined...those who destroyed that trust aren't safe either. You've all heard, right? The Villain Alliance has collapsed."

The document being projected switched to the next slide.

"Numerous witnesses have come forward. All witnesses were members of criminal organizations."

"How can we trust the words of criminals?"

"They all said the same thing...and turned themselves in asking for witness protection. It's not entirely trustworthy, but it is credible to some extent."
